“Fat Tax”

So was talking to the wife this morning:

Her: “They have a ‘fat tax’ in Hungary.”

Me: “Yeah they’re Hungry!” *Rimshot* (NICE ONE Weer’d Beard!) *High Five*!

But yeah:

In an effort to address rising obesity rates and health care costs, Hungary on Thursday implemented a law imposing special taxes on foods with high fat, salt and sugar content. The move comes as other European countries also consider policies to fight obesity.

This is why I always put quotes around “Progressive”. So much for “My Body, My Choice”. You see that only counts when it comes to anal sex and killing the unborn. Smoking cigarettes, Doing Body Modification, and eating food you think is yummy…well that the STATE knows best for you.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has said, “Those who live unhealthily have to contribute more.” In other words, the new law is based on the idea that those whose diets land them in the hospital should help foot the bill, particularly in a country with a health care deficit of €370 million.

See here’s the reason why we need to shy away from National Socialized Healthcare, Because somebody who works hard to stay in shape but occasionally likes some fried chicken, or some yummy chocolate, and likes to sit back and enjoy a fine cigar gets to subsidize those who sit on the couch and eat hotdog rolls right out of the bag.

You see the reason why the “Progressives” want universal healthcare is because their core constituency, those who don’t work, and expect the government or their “Village” to take care of them, need lots of healthcare, but they can’t afford it because they can only afford what the government gives to them, so they need healthy people to foot the bill.

But of course when something is free people abuse it. (Just talk to an ER Nurse or Doctor about the people who come in for simple treatments) Make all healthcare as free as the ER suddenly all avenues of the medical field will be just as crowded and abused (including Doctors who will be looking into jobs in private industry and research rather than the trial-by-fire that is medical school and residency) so they need more money to make up the shortfalls…so they decide to tax.

OR we could just take care of our own selves, and if our neighbor needs help they can ASK for it.

Of course this is coming here. We must be vigilant.

MY BODY MY CHOICE!

    Sigh! To think my Father fought in the 1956 Revolution so that they could have the Freedom to Tax Fat People. And Orban is old enough to remember when 90% of the Food Production from Magyarosag was sent to their “Socialist Brothers” in the Soviet Union. Fucking Commies.
